After listening to Zheng Qingzhi's words, the court immediately began to discuss, the ministers focused on those generals, these generals also looked at each other, who is not a fool, this expedition is not the same as the previous expedition, the previous army was to deal with the Jin country, now it is to deal with the same royal family of King Ji, not to mention that most of the military generals in the court have no real power, there are no soldiers and horses under their command, just a title, let them go out to arrange soldiers and horses to them first, What's more, the number of soldiers and horses that can be used in the Beijing division at the moment is not very large, if you want to make contributions, at least you have to transfer troops from the surrounding areas, and now only a small number of soldiers and horses are dispatched, and no one knows whether you can win the battle.

So a group of generals suddenly became dumb, and no one wanted to take over this hot taro in an unclear state.

Zhao Yun and Shi Miyuan both looked at the generals and inspected them, and when they saw that no one from the generals came out to respond, Zhao Yun asked: "Ladies and gentlemen, is anyone willing to go out and lead the troops to Huzhou to destroy the rebellion?" ”

Others were silent, which was just right for Gao Huaiyuan, so Gao Huaiyuan, who was standing in the back column, immediately came out and replied: "Qi Shengshang, Weichen is willing to lead his troops to go!" ”

The ministers looked at it, and got it! is still a brother in battle, who made this Gao Huaiyuan and today's saint small? At the moment of crisis, it is still necessary for others to come out of the horse!

Zhao Yun was naturally not surprised by Gao Huaiyuan's request to fight, but after all, this matter was very important, after all, he was not completely pro-government, and he still had to rely on Shi Miyuan's snort, so Zhao Yun did not immediately agree this time, but locked his eyes on Shi Miyuan, and asked Shi Miyuan: "Shi Aiqing, now General Gao is willing to send troops to rebel, I don't know what Shi Aiqing wants?" ”

Shi Miyuan is also anxious at this time, no matter who goes out to fight against him now, it is not the most important thing for him, the most important thing is that they must put down the rebellion of King Ji as soon as possible, in case King Ji takes advantage of this opportunity to sit down.

And Gao Huaiyuan came out to ask for a fight, he was not too surprised, and he thought about it, although there are some generals in the court, but most of these generals can be said to have climbed up step by step by relying on him, there are not many people who have really participated in the big battle, let them lead the troops to fight, it can be said that Shi Miyuan has no bottom in his heart, and the people who have the ability in the court can be said to be serving in the local area, and at the moment they can only use the soldiers and horses of Jiankang's garrison army and the guard horse army division for them to call, and further away is the soldiers and horses of the Chizhou battalion, However, in the short term, I am afraid that Chizhou will not be able to count on it.

And at present, the matter in Huzhou is really urgent, and Huzhou is too close to Lin'an, and it is a step over, and the soldiers and horses in the distance can not be counted on now, so they can only count on the soldiers and horses guarding the land of Jinggi first, and looking at the army around the Beijing Division, the most effective at the moment can only be regarded as Gao Huaiyuan's Guardian Army, in addition, the soldiers and horses who are too powerful to find can really not be found!

Although there are only more than 5,000 people in the Holy Protector Army, under Gao Huaiyuan's training in the past year, he does not dare to say that one is ten, at least it is not a big problem to deal with 10,000 soldiers and horses.

As for military power, Shi Miyuan is more at ease with Gao Huaiyuan, although now that Zhao Yun has ascended the throne, Gao Huaiyuan is regarded as a person around him, but no matter whether Gao Huaiyuan or the saint, don't they all have to look up to him Shi Miyuan's snort now? Xia Zhen is incompetent and has made things to this extent, so if he is unlucky, let Gao Huaiyuan be in the limelight again!

Thinking of this, Shi Miyuan immediately nodded and said: "General Gao is a person who has been in battle for a long time, since General Gao is willing to go out to fight against the rebellion this time, it is the luck of my Great Song Dynasty!" The minister thought that this time General Gao could take command of the expedition, take the position of recruiting envoy, lead the Gyeonggi army, and go to Huzhou and Jiaxing to quell the rebellion! Please allow the official to play! ”

In this way, Gao Huaiyuan's expedition against the rebellion was decided, and he was immediately summoned by Zhao Yun and appointed as the Huzhou envoy, leading the troops out of Beijing to quell the rebellion, and the soldiers and horses on the expedition were also more chaotic this time.

So Gao Huaiyuan immediately received the order out of the palace and began to go down to arrange, and Zhao Yun and Shi Miyuan and others were still not very relieved, and then immediately written by Zheng Qingzhi, wrote a long article against the rebellion, sent a large number of officials, and immediately spread it to all places, reprimanding the king of Ji is the rebellious minister who committed the rebellion, and also asked the queen mother, who had withdrawn the curtain, to make a decree to confirm that Zhao Yun is orthodox and the heir appointed by the emperor, so as to prove the legitimacy of Zhao Yun as the emperor.

So there are now two imperial courts in the Southern Song Dynasty, each accusing the other of being a rebel, and on the whole, Zhao Hong, the king of Ji, does not have an advantage in terms of legitimacy.

But this is all done by the ministers, Gao Huaiyuan doesn't have the time to worry about this now, after he received the decree, he handed over the inner hall of the palace to An Jie to lead on his behalf, and now there are only his people, Zhao Yun can be trusted, and An Jie has also followed Zhao Yun for a long time, and the position is more suitable, Zhao Yun is very satisfied with this arrangement, at least the guards in the palace are loyal to him, which makes him have a lot less worries.

Fang Shuda, who was on the side of the infantry division, was ordered to transfer troops to assist Gao Huaiyuan in the battle this time, and it happened to let Fang Shuda return a favor to Gao Huaiyuan, so he immediately selected a total of 6,000 elite soldiers from the two battalions of Zuo Huyi and Crossbow Xiongwu under his command to hand over to Gao Huaiyuan's command, and sent troops to Huzhou to rebel together, this time for him, it was also an opportunity to turn over, as long as Gao Huaiyuan won the rebellion, then he could get merit again, at least he could avoid his previous mistakes.

Therefore, after Gao Huaiyuan received the order, the army in the Beijing division immediately became busy, and the holy army was ordered to drive out of the capital under the leadership of Hua Yue on the afternoon of the day he received the order, and as the vanguard of the army, it was stationed in Deqing County, in case they were not ready, King Ji sent troops to attack Lin'an.

And the rest of the preparations are not simple, after all, this time, according to the investigation of the king of Ji, the soldiers and horses gathered in the Huzhou area are far more than 20,000 people, including nearly 10,000 people from the left and right troops of the palace front division, more than 2,000 Huzhou state soldiers, and Li Quan supported 6,000 elite soldiers, plus the local armed forces, fishermen, etc. gathered by the local Pan brothers in Huzhou, the total number of people is far more than 20,000 people, Gao Huaiyuan only has more than 10,000 troops at the moment, so he wants to destroy the army of King Ji, obviously the strength is a little weaker.

So Gao Huaiyuan ordered Hua Yue to go to Deqing County to stay in Chen, and he himself temporarily stayed in Lin'an City for two days, in these two days, he found Shi Miyuan Chen again to take advantage, from the palace front division system, and transferred the golden gun class, the bow and arrow class, and the crossbow straight class, a total of more than 2,000 people, as the main force of his rear army, and at the same time requisitioned 10,000 people near Lin'an City, as a reserve force for transporting grain and heavy loads.

Considering that Huzhou is backed by Taihu Lake, once King Ji's army is defeated, it is likely that he will escape into Taihu Lake with the remnants to take refuge, so he persuaded Shi Miyuan to call the Mingzhou Navy that was originally subordinate to the Dianqian Division, and march towards Huzhou by canal and waterway, and prepare to enter Taihu Lake to chase and escape afterwards, so he set off to Deqing County with the two armies and three classes of men and horses of the Infantry Division.

Although King Ji started in the Shangyuan Festival, but King Ji is not a fool, he has only gathered more than 20,000 soldiers and horses in his hands now, and there is also a palace division of the right army Chen soldiers in Jiaxing, with this point of strength is not enough to capture Lin'an City, after all, there are two armies of the palace front division and the infantry division in Lin'an City, a total of more than 40,000 people, they are now attacking Lin'an, undoubtedly hitting stones with eggs.

Therefore, according to the advice made by his advisers, after announcing the uprising, he did not send troops to attack Lin'an City, but closed the four gates, sent a large number of literati who served him, went to all parts of the country, lobbied local officials and troops, and instead accepted his dispatch to crusade against Zhao Yun in Lin'an.

As a result, the Huzhou army also made a defensive position behind closed doors, and was unable to take the initiative to attack Lin'an City in a short period of time, but it did not pose much threat to Lin'an City.

After Gao Huaiyuan completed the initial subordinates, he did not wait for the Mingzhou Navy and Shaoxing's palace front division and rear army to come to help, so he led the troops to Dezhou City, and in these three days, Jia Qi collected a lot of news about the Huzhou army for him, and also collected a large number of reactions from the troops in the surrounding areas is official.

From the time when King Ji announced the uprising, the two Zhejiang areas have been chaotic, before King Ji sent a lot of people to the surrounding area to lobby, to ask officials and even the army to accept his dispatch, many of them supported King Ji, but most people chose to be silent at this time, for this kind of situation that there are two emperors in a country at the same time, so that the officials around the country are a little at a loss.

So officials from all over the country have chosen to watch from the wall, waiting for the development of the situation to say, this in their opinion, is equivalent to two brothers in a family fighting, although they are famous ministers in the Southern Song Dynasty, but this is their own family affairs, they can't get into it, so Zhenjiang and Jiankang did not send troops to Huzhou for the first time, which also gave King Ji a chance to breathe, so that he quickly brought Huzhou under control.

Only the prefect of Changzhou, who was close to Huzhou, immediately stated that he did not support King Ji's rebellion, and ordered all counties under the royal court not to support King Ji's mutiny, and sent soldiers to block the area north of Taihu Lake and cut off Li Quanjun's support for Huzhou, which made the situation temporarily stabilize and did not let King Ji continue to sit down.

After Gao Huaiyuan learned about these things, he led the army to Deqing County, and immediately led the army out of Deqing County to attack Huzhou, only sending 3,000 men and horses of the infantry division to Chongde County (now Tongxiang City) to defend against the rebels in Jiaxing, and the rest of the army followed him to Huzhou.
